Signed copy of Lord Douglas's final book on the Irish playwright and author, inscribed on front free endpaper to cricket broadcaster John Arlott (1914–1991) and dated February 1943. Inscription is faded but signature remains bold. Purple cloth in dust jacket. 143 pp. Frontis portrait of Wilde, portrait of Lord Alfred Douglas, from the drawing by Walter Spindler; facsimile of letter written to Douglas from Wilde in 1897.
